The designer: Frederike Martens

Frederike Martens (born 1987) trained as an industrial designer at the design school in Halle, Germany, with a focus on glass and ceramics. She has a gift for pure, simple shapes and colors that last, and a keen sense of how materials behave alone and together, without ever losing sight of everyday use. Her blomus work includes the SABLO tableware, the CEOLA vases and the BELO glassware.
Why we carry it
We are an authorized blomus retailer and have been curating design-led pieces for the home since 2009. VELA is the candle holder we recommend for a modern Advent: a matte-glazed stoneware ring that holds four taper candles, with a hollow center for ornaments, sweets or greenery. blomus is a family company run by the fourth generation of the Blome family in Sundern, Germany. It began in 1921 making bicycle parts, moved into copper, brass, pewter and stainless-steel design pieces in 1961, and has worked under the blomus name since 2000.
Buy once: durability and care
Wipe with a damp cloth and remove wax once cool; never leave burning candles unattended. It fits standard 7/8-inch (22 mm) taper candles; candles are not included.
